Testing a new format....

I am just testing a new format to display my cards etc, but I am using a photo of a card I have already shown!



Let me know what you think, I just thought that if the items used were in a clearer format it would be more helpful!

More cards from the weekend away....

Here are some cards I made on my weekend away, I was inspired to make a card as it was my daughters 2nd birthday on the Sunday so I needed to stop scrapbooking and think cards instead!
So this is the card that I made for Ava, not that I have written on it as yet, but hey she's only 2 she does not understand....yet!!! She was so funny opening her presents it was over in 5 minutes! She would get a present rip off the paper then chuck it on the floor and grab for the next one with no interest at all to what we had bought her! So she is certainly not going to worry about a card!
This card uses a set that you have not yet seen and was given to us by Stampin' Up!, yes I know it is a truly gorgeous set and may well be available in the new catalogue as a hostess set! So you may even be able to get it for free, we will know in just a matter of days!!!! The official count down is.....21 days away!!! That is if you pre book a party or even a stamp-a-stack with me for the month of April or May and then I will send you out a new catalogue for FREE as soon as I recieve them OTHERWISE arrange to pre pay the $10 by the 1st April and I will also post you out your NEW catalogue in the post, or drop it over depending where you live!


Back to the birthday card the set is called 'Time Well Spent'. I have coloured in with the Wonderful Watercolour Crayons and an Aqua Painter then cut the shapes out sticking them down with Stampin Dimensionals to lift them. The cardstock used is one of my favourites Old Olive. I have also used the butterfly from the set 'Small Sayings' which is out of the Summer Mini Catalogue which ends this month. Images stamped with black ink.

This card also uses the same set as the previous card and was coloured in all the same, except the flower is coated in Crsytal Effects thus mang it shiny! The cardstock used was Really Rust which I have not really used before and someone else had used it in a card (Machelle) and it looked great, so I have now ordered myself some cardstock and an ink pad in Really Rust! The other cardstock is Close To Cocoa and the Grosgrain Ribbon Chocolate Chip 5/8" from the Summer Mini Catalogue, it is nice and easy to use the thicker ribbon too.

I have used the 'Love Matters' stamp set from the Summer Mini Catologue for this card with Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink and Cranberry Crisp cardstock. Main images stamped in black ink with the butterfly from the 'Small Sayings' set and inked in Lavender Lace. The ribbon is from Ribbon Originals 'Flirty' - from the Summer Catalogue, I can not express how gorgeous these ribbons actually are, they are stunning (page 19 mini catalogue).

Scrapbooking weekend away

Well I have just gotten back from 2 lovely days out at Silverdale with some wonderful people for a scrapbooking weekend away! We got lots of scrapping done and even some cards, well some only did cards. Here are a few gorgeous cards from two of the girls I went with and I will post some of my cards and scrapbook pages as soon as I take some photos and download them!

This card was made by Fiona McCulloch and uses the Fishy Friends stamp set and the word 'Imagine' is from the Natural Beauty stamp set. Fiona has used Only Orange & Tempting Turquoise from the Bold Brights colour family and corrigated white card stock as the base (not Stampin' Up!). The fish have been coloured in using the Watercolour Wonder Crayons and an Aqua Painter. The colours look great together!

This is card is also by Fiona and uses the Looks Like Spring stamp set with Choc Chip cardstock and ink. The other colour cardstock and white corrigated cardstock is not from Stampin' Up!. It looks great, especially using the co-ordinating Looks Like Spring Punch and punching out the flowers. Fiona has also inked the edges using the Sponge Daubers and the choc chip ink pad.

Another card by Fiona using the Riveting Hostess Stamp set which is about to be gone forever when the new catalogue comes out 1st April 2008. She has also used the Giraffe from the Wild About You stamp set and the Typeset alphabet lower case to stamp the word 'baby'. The colours used I am guessing are Pretty in Pink cardstock and possibly Cameo Coral ink. It is just gorgeous!!

These next two cards were made by Machelle Miller who spent lots of time stamping images and colouring them in with the Watercolour Wonder Crayons and an Aqua Painter to which Julie my mother in law covered with Crystal Effects (which gives a dimensional gloss to the images). The images looked stunning and they made a great team!! This card was made using an image from the set Nice and Easy Notes (this set is about to be deleted you have until the end of March to purchase it) and using the water colour crayons to colour in the image with Really Rust and Pumpkin Pie cardstock inncluding a strip of Apple Green ribbon. The colours went perfectly with the coloured in image. Stunning!

Okay for the Christmas lovers and the ones who plan to get there Christmas cards done early this year and hopefully actually post them (no digs hey Machelle!!) here is a lovely card that Machelle has made using the Sleigh Full Of Toys stamp set that she just got that weekend. Having a ball with the water colour crayons again Machelle was busy colouring in!! Machelle's other favourite is using the Star Stampin Around wheel and best of all using White Ink! She has used Real Red and Glorious Green cardstock to make this lovely card.

Okay I am all typed out tonight and promise to get some more postings on here in the next day or so with cards and scrapbook pages made on the weekend.....did I mention what a great weekend we all had?!! Lets just say that we are working on dates for the next get together already!!
